A ______ is a push or pull that one object exerts on another.

A vertical spring gun is used to launch balls into the air. If the spring is compressed by 4.9 cm, the ball of mass 5.5 g is lau

AleksandrR [38]

We know, by conservation of energy :

$\dfrac{kx^2}{2}=mgh$

Therefore,

$\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}$

Putting given values, we get :

$\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}\\\\\dfrac{4.9^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{50.2}{2\times 50.2}\\\\x_2^2=2\times 4.9^2\\\\x_2 = 4.9\times \sqrt{2}\\\\x_2=6.93\ cm$

Therefore, the spring be compressed to 6.93 cm to send the ball twice as high.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Consider a spherical volume of space that is large enough to be considered homogeneous. Also consider a particle on the surface

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Option A applies.

A. Greater than its escape speed from the mass within the volume

Explanation:

Here it is mentioned that the spherical volume is large enough for the space to be considered as homogeneous. Also, the pressure within the volume is negligible, so that will not result into the re collapse of the Universe. Now as per our knowing, Hubble's Law relates the average speed of the particle to the distance R between the Earth and the particle. So, if the particle's speed is greater than it's escape speed from the mass within the volume, then the Universe is bound to re collapse back again. Option A applies.

A flywheel with a diameter of 1.63 m is rotating at an angular speed of 79.9 rev/min. (a) What is the angular speed of the flywh

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

(a) 8.362 rad/sec

(b) 6.815 m/sec

(c) 9.446 $rad/sec^2$

(d) 396.22 revolution

Explanation:

We have given that diameter d = 1.63 m

So radius $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.63}{2}=0.815m$

Angular speed N = 79.9 rev/min

(a) We know that angular speed in radian per sec

$\omega =\frac{2\pi N}{60}=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 79.9}{60}=8.362rad/sec$

(b) We know that linear speed is given by

$v=r\omega =0.815\times 8.362=6.815m/sec$

(c) We have given final angular velocity $\omega _f=675rev/min$

And $\omega _i=79.9rev/min$

Time t = 63 sec

Angular acceleration is given by $\alpha =\frac{\omega _f-\omega _i}{t}=\frac{675-79.9}{63}=9.446rad/sec^2$

(d) Change in angle is given by

$\Theta =\frac{1}{2}(\omega _i+\omega _f)t=\frac{1}{2}(675+79.9)\times 1.05=396.22rev$

What is most responsible for the uneven heating of the air in the atmosphere?

Phoenix [80]

<span>The answer would be convection currents. Convection happens when atoms with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas transfer and get the room of particles with fewer heat energy. Heat energy is transported from hot places to cooler places by convection.</span>
